Abstract As of late, “STAY AT HOME” is the main slogan; household needs are constantly changing for many reasons, such as the change in the human life cycle, the shift to smart cities, and adopting new modern technologies to reduce the risks. However, while moving to a smart solution, many forgotten social dimensions are being interpreted into the design of many services, including housing. Accordingly, this study aims to explore housing flexibility through a review of relevant literature and how housing design will change to accommodate new needs through quarantine and spread of Corona virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) to formulate new design codes for stakeholders and real-estate developers to consider in the future. It examines the impact of quarantine on personal household priorities, house design, and how they innovate in their interior design to suit their new needs by conducting a wide online social survey. The research uses an online survey to evaluate the importance of the new arrangement of household requirements using quantitative analysis tools and techniques. The findings display housing guidelines to apply housing design flexibility to cope with any external or internal changes that may happen in the next period and affect household needs in smart cities and others. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
